    it’s frustrating because webpages were really functional without this problem a decade ago. i don’t know why links jump around today. is it because it’s cheaper to let the client figure out what content they need instead of using server-side computation?

      Because frontend webdevelopers use some very large framework to make things “look nicer” and don’t care about resource optimisation? They do the opposite just for some silly colouring effect, shade etc. The old ugly stuff was a lot smaller and quicker to load.
